Getting to the heart of why Michael Tonello started his hate blog is like lancing a boil. A lot of pus has to come out before the entire mess can start to heal.
So Mr. Tonello's screeds against various resellers and Ebay transactions from the stone age is rather enlightening, we believe. The man cannot let go. I mean, we ask you, is this normal? Do you even remember your Ebay transactions from 2003, good or bad?
What grown man spends his days burrowing through years old Ebay feedback, publishing the personal information of people he is presumably busy Googling, and stamping his little feet over being banned from a PURSE forum? We suspect he's in a category all his own.
We know this hurts, Mr. Tonello, but the boil really must go. And you'll feel ever so much better when you focus on more positive things.
Take two paracetamol and DON'T call us in the morning.

PASSION is what gives people the drive to work toward their lives' goals. But there is positive passion and negative passion. Michael Tonello has negative passion, also known as obsession. All haters have this trait. They are selfish people and are destined never to be truly happy. Taking his negative enery and spewing it all in cyberspace is how he feels empowerment.
Sad case.
Real people have real lives. He is just pathetic. He even had the illusion that people from Purse Forum are envious of him. Purleez. Go get a life.
He is bored. Has no life. Has no friends in the real living and breathing world. Feelings of inadequacy so he picks on people he does not know in a venue (cyberspace) where they can't fight back. He lives in the past because that is all he has.
Michael is a pathetic wannabe. He will never be happy and just obsesses about other people's things. Why should he give a care about anyone's purses? He has no life.
It is every eBay customer's worst nightmare. Disputing over purchases is part and parcel of trading on eBay. But if you want to be in the game, you go along with expected norms, and to deal with issues amicably and professionally.
It is shocking to read about Michael Tonello's antics and the reasons why eBay banned him.
And then the whole BS is repeated on the Purse Forum. And of course you got banned. Any forum owner or moderator would have banned you for your ridiculous behaviour.
Between eBay and tpf, one thing is constant. The same man, the same lunacy, the same aggression all because of deeply rooted selfishness and illusion of superiority.
Mikey keeps attacking the same people again and again. It's becoming very old news and boring. All intelligent people that see his blog realize that he is obviously an extremely disturbed and pitiful individual. He lost his validity when he lied about not being the owner of PFA. He calls the same people liars but he and Herpes Duchess take first prize in that category. How dare he have the nerve to attack BBL and post a picture of a woman with a great sense humor. She wasn't a member when he was thrown off TPF nor did she ever purchsase anything from him. He feels by attacking TPF members he'll close it down. He won't succeeed. He is so jealous of TPF owners. Mikey you are a real loser.
From TPA:
"A special post for one of our most frequent readers:
The Purse Forum's own....Mistikat; an Uma Thurman (and Kelly Lakis) lover."
MT doesn't get it. People he slanders are copying his posts not only about themselves but all. It saves on attorneys fees. Let him figure out the reason why.

I feel sorry that Michael Tonello is trapped by his obsession with people who have more than him.
Michael Tonello does some public service. The Purse forum is a huge place with hundreds of threads started every day. Some of them need to be taken with huge grains of salt, but what can one do? It's an open forum and any member is free to post. I think there aren't enough moderators to read and evaluate each single thread.
So kudos to Michael Tonello for helping the purse forum moderators by finding threads that seem to be lacking in integrity, and pointing them out. It's very helpful. It's also helpful to us readers because then we know what threads to avoid - Tonello's already done the reading for us and told us where not to go - and there's plenty other threads to go read.
Do keep it up! Your consumer advocacy is helping tPF be a better place that everyone can enjoy. Good job!!!
MT is so easily flattered, If you say you've read his book, and fawn all over him, but if you have no interest in the book, or call him out on his disgusting behaviour, he takes it so personally. Note to MT.......grow a pair and get a life!
Have you noticed that his posts often have a menacing and threatening tone to them. He loves to "call out" people's personal info to let them know he is aware of what they are doing. Today's post regarding Mistikat let's everyone know that he is watching her. This is really, really creepy! All of those who support PFAE realize that he has some personality issues. It can be seen from his blank expression in his YouTube interview and "how to" videos. Thanks so much for posting these as they really give a lot of insight. (See PFAE blog posts from June 5, 2011, for a listing of his videos.) And of course it can be seen from what he says in his posts. He reminds me of the Wizard of Oz where he is all powerful when he can hide behind a computer screen. Everything he has wanted to say to real-life people to their faces is manifested on to screen names from a Purse Forum. Yet when the curtain is pulled back, we likely have an entirely different person. One who obviously has some deep emotional scars. There is nothing we can say in our posts that will get through to him to change his ways. It's just not that easy, unfortunately. He needs some long-term psychotherapy.
Anyone know the name of Tonello's partner & the partner's parents?
Looks like the foul mouths are just being themselves. They just can't help it. Michael Tonello is doing a round robbin with his list of victims. More evidence for lawyers and law enforcers to build their cases.
"Sold me a misrepresented item then called me a sucker.Im deeply hurt by this man "
Collective complaints by eBay buyers like the one above gave evidence to have Michael Tonello banned. Not because there are some people who have a grudge against him. That's what he told the media. That people are jealous of him. Ha!
Calling people names is a trait of this rubbish man.
"He loves to "call out" people's personal info to let them know he is aware of what they are doing. Today's post regarding Mistikat let's everyone know that he is watching her. This is really, really creepy!"
Michael Tonello loves to make things up and say it with fake conviction, to FISH, to see if there are any responses here, that would clue him in that Mistikat or any of his victims had indeed visited his blog. That's because he really doesn't know!
Can't get away with lying, Michael?
Donna, thank you so much for your 5:54am post. Thank goodness we have Mikey to filter through all the tPF threads and explain them to us. After all we are all so stupid, we can't possibly figure out when we are being punked by 12 year olds and scammers. Maybe you need Mikey to explain life to you, but the rest of us do not. Intelligent people know what to take seriously when they read things on the internet or in books for that matter. You must have been sniffing too much laughing gas during your trade school days, but at least you have something to do when Bob throws you out. What will Mikey live on?
Isn't MT's sidekick in China? She's so wrapped up in her bitterness that she has to come on here? Pathetic.
When does MT have time to spend his day slandering people with the Bravo filming schedule?
Anonymous 6:10pm, I'm 5:54 and I'm not Donna. Can you imagine Donna encouraging Tonello to do anything that was remotely helpful to the purse forum? Or Tonello doing anything willingly that would help the purse forum in any way?
Dear 5:54,
No one wants your false cheering on of Michael Tonello here, or haven't you noticed that this is a site that is trying to make him stop his hurtful activities?
But, I guess every crazy person has his fans. Maybe you should spend more time on his site rather than this one.
Michael Tonello is likely the purse forum's most frequent visitor!
Interesting how we each interpret things differently: I saw 5:54's post as being sarcastic and tongue-in-cheek. I found it humorous and interpreted it as making fun of Tonello.
And to the person who asked about his partner: On EH he referred to his partner as Juan.
